Labour Urge Housing Minister To Fund Social Housing Plans
Labour Party Senator Kevin Humphreys has called on the Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy to commit funding for a social and affordable housing plan in Poolbeg West, Dublin.
It comes after the housing development gained approval from An Bord Pleanála.
Senator Humphreys said: "I welcome the news today that An Bord Pleanála has approved the construction of 3500 housing units in Poolbeg West, with the consolidation of social and affordable units within the development.
"I also welcome that this decision has laid down controls on the build to rent model. This development will allow a sustainable community to grow up just 25 mins outside of the City Center. Dublin City should always be maintained as a place for people to work and live. Such developments will contribute to that.
"I am calling on the Minister to immediately provide the necessary funding for the social and affordable homes and to fast track, this most desperately needed housing development for Dublin City South."
